Lance deserves better

I prefer the new system for the simple fact (as you stated) many times you knew who the champion was going to be way before the last race, where as now it usually comes down to the last race.
With the new system everyone (and i emphizes everyone) has the same chance.
They all know how it works so for someone to say that a driver "derserves" to be in the chase because they won 4 races (KB), I don't buy it.
All KB had to do was be a little more consistand and bingo in the chase and with his win total, in first place.
I do believe the points system needs a little tweaking.
For example if you lead a lap you get 5 bonus points.
I don't believe you should get anything for leading a single lap and here's why.
You can lead a lap under caution, I don't see the skill there and what irritates me is seeing teammates let one another lead a lap to get the 5 points.
I say dump the 5 points for leading a lap.
Point #2. Increase the bonus point for leading the most laps.
Now there is an accomplishment (DH this past weekend).
Point #3. Right now the winner of the race recieves 15 more points than 2nd place.
I say increase that to at least 25. There should be a sizable points jump from 2nd place to first place.

This friend of yours, did she buy it, have it signed and sold it as a way to make money or was it something that happened (meaning did she have the car, it got signed one day and someone saw it and wanted to buy it from her)?

One quick question for you haters: Why exactly do you hate Junior? Please don't come with the overused "living off his last name" excuse; that has got to be the most ridiculous of all. He cannot help what his last name is anymore than you can. I apologize if this comes off as snotty or whatever, but I really would like an answer, which means no name calling please. Thanks.

He is really not the great and honorable person his sister, the media, DW, Topix posters, and Hollywood make him out to be.
He has a vile temper, is very tight with his money,(only recently started a foundation after Kyle Busch did), and did I mention has a vile temper.
He treats women like crap, he feels he is "owed" a championship, and is far to full of himself. He thinks because he was won several races at restrictor plate tracks (where he cheated) he is the best driver in nascar.
Jr is not the person his "spin" machine makes him out to be...He flys off to the "redneck riverea" (key west) instead of working at the shop like the other drivers.
Jr is basically a well marketed piece of garbage! Now amount of "happy Jr thoughts" will change that!

JRW, I do respect you, and I respect your passion for your driver, however please don't press me on the "you don't know Jr" issue. For all of the stuff I post on here, there is a lot I do not. Mostly because I'm concerned for my personal safety.

Oh my Lord. Will you stop at nothing to bring him down?????
First off, Dick Bergren, Fox's pit reporter said on satellite radio that Junior IS as nice as he comes across on tv and that he is always a joy to speak to. Not to mention the stories that are out there floating around of people(fans) like you and I who have met him and describe him as the "nicest person they've ever met". So, yeah, he's only a jerk in your mind because that's what you want him to be.
He doesn't have a vile temper, I mean I'm sure he has his moments, but don't we all???? I would say that I am a pretty easy going person, but I have my moments where I get pissed and fly off the handle. I am sure Junior does too. Tight with his money, dear God are you delusional???? He treated his frinds to an all expenses paid trip to Australia last year!!!!! I am sure that cost him a pretty penny. And I think Junior has had a foundation for quite some time, so I really don't think he started his after Kyle.
So, you know how he treats his female companions???? I guess it's like we thought all along-Junior dumped you or took one look at you and said no. These girls know or should know what they are getting into when it comes to Junior-a guy that is just looking for a good time and the odds of him getting into a long term relationship are slim at best right now. Junior doens't think he his owed anything!!!! The man is one of the most humble guys in the garage!!!! And really, back to the cheating on RP tracks??? Isn't that a bit old??? You really need to accept the fact that Junior excells on those types of tracks because he is good.
So, I would go so far to say that yes, Junior is the person we all see on tv every weekend nine month out of the year. And that is why we lov ehima nd why he still has a fanbase like he does. Now, I'm sorry you have trouble grasping this concept but really......it's time for you to grow up and move on.

Did you know that there is a "clean-up crew" that follow him and clean out his hauler, and RV after he throws a temper tantrum after a race. He has been known to completely trash a 1.3m RV after he hits the wall or blows an engine.
These people have all signed "gag" orders that they can't discuses the messes they clean up for JR...his temper is the worst on the circuit. what you see on TV from him is Hollywood at it's best!
